Ensuring proper soil stabilization is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of your foundation and home, as unstable soil can lead to settlement, cracks, and long-term damage.
Void Filling
A technique used to stabilize foundations by injecting specialized materials, such as polyurethane foam, into empty spaces or gaps beneath a structure. These voids often form due to soil erosion or foundation settlement over time. This process enhances structural integrity, prevents further settling, and ensures long-term foundation stability.
Microvoids
Small gaps or air pockets within the soil beneath a foundation, which can weaken its overall stability over time. These microvoids can hold pockets of water that can further contribute to erosion and potentially seep into your basement.
Load Bearing Capacity
The ability of soil or a structure to support weight or loads without failing or shifting. In the context of foundation stabilization, the load-bearing capacity refers to how much weight the soil beneath a foundation can safely hold. Enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the soil is essential to prevent settlement and ensure the long-term stability of your foundation.
Geotechnical Engineers and Engineering
Involves the study of soil, rock, and other earth materials to ensure safe and stable foundations. Geotechnical engineers are certified to evaluate the ground beneath and around foundations and provide a detailed soil analysis.
Soil Bore Test
A test completed by extracting soil samples from the ground to analyze their composition, stability, and load-bearing capacity. The test identifies weak or unstable soil conditions that lead to foundation issues. The results guide advanced soil stabilization methods, including the deep injection process, to ensure effective foundation repair and long-term structural stability.
Soil Stabilization
A set of techniques designed to improve the strength, load-bearing capacity, and durability of soil, ensuring it can effectively support foundations and other structures. Soil stabilization prevents foundation settlement, minimizes movement, and provides long-term stability, protecting against structural damage caused by weak or shifting ground.
